If you haven’t had an oppor-

tunity to see our new township
sign, we suggest you pack the
family in your car and drive by
the Sibley Road-Inkster Road
intersection and check it out.
The sign is prominently dis-

played on the northwest comer

thanks to the kindness of Ron
and Carol Bock.

The sign is impressive with
its green background and gold
leaf lettering. The Redwood

construction and design sug-

gests a “period” design and that
fits very nicely in our rural set-
ting and compliments our
desire to promote our heritage.
The sign is complimented by

board, spoke about the place-
ment of other signs in the com-
munity. Among the sites dis-
cussed were the Villages of

Dileanete ASTON

“friendly” landscaping that
allows the sign to blend in with
the neighboring landscaping.

The cost of the sign was
underwritten by TDSI, a com-
pany located in New Boston. In
a recent Huron Township
Newsletter, the Township
Supervisor praised the compa-
ny for being “a good corporate
neighbor.” He also thanked
Loyer Construction and Straub
Architectural Designs for their
work on the installation of the
sign and the landscaping.

At prior Township Board
meetings, the Supervisor as

Waltz, Willow and New
Boston. Several organizations
have already donated money
for future signs. The New
Boston sign was recently erect-
ed and is a smaller version of
the Township sign. It is located
on Sibley Road just northwest
ef the southbound [-275 exit
ramp. It is located on what
appears to be MDOT property.

Across town in New Boston,
the bridge is finally getting a
facelift. After years of neglect,
Wayne County has finally start-
ed efforts to restore the appear-
ance of the bridge. This bridge

wet lo

is of importance to our commu-

.
ja

nity because it is one of only

two ways to cross the Huron -

River. It has historical signifi-
cance and has long been a
major route of travel. Yet sev-
eral times it has been allowed
to rust. |

Back in the early 80’s the
appearance got so bad that sev-
eral prominent citizens in the
community took it upon them-
selves to paint the bridge. The
actual paint job wasn’t very
good, but it got the point across
and the County eventually
moved itself to paint the bridge
a sky blue. However, years of
neglect has again found the
bridge in need of attention. Not
only does it need painting but
the structure has suffered from
several collisions.

According to Township
Treasurer Adkins, he has called
the County several times about
the need to repair the guard
rails. According to him current
plans do not include this repair.
Also several board members,
notably Trustee Mason -has
expressed concern about the
structural soundness of the
bridge. The bridge was the
topic of conversation many
times during the period when a
portion of I-275 was closed and
traffic was rerouted over the
bridge. 3

The County issued a report a
few years back stating the
bridge was safe and indicated
there were no plans to do any
major repairs. At this time, the
board has not decided to do
anything more than discuss the
condition of the bridge and we
can expect the topic to continue
to come up on a regular basis.

Traffic has slowed because
of the construction, but for the
locals, the inconvenience is
worth it. It is not known how
long it will take to complete the
sandblasting and painting but
the County seems to be making
acceptable progress.
So, we have a new sign for

‘the Township, New Boston and

the bridge is being painted. All
positive signs of our times.

of them either with a stick or
stoné or sometimes stamping
on their heads. Across the
street from our house and a
short way toward the cross
road was Frank Andrew’s
Harness Shop. Mr. Andrews
was one of father’s parish-
ioners and a very good friend.

‘ Father took a great deal of
pride in his horse and harness
and he had a considerable
number of straps and harness
parts made.

We boys used to hitch our
dog to a little-wagon and he

would pull until he was
exhausted.
Mr. Andrews was much

interested in our doings and
one day he had me bring
“Goo” into the shop and he
measured him for a harness. In

_the course of time the harness

was completed. It consisted of
a breast collar, a back pad and
real tugs. He trimmed it with
real nickel spangles and it was
really a work of art and I must
say affection for a small boy. I
hope I was as appreciative
then as [ have been in retro-
spect through the years. Father
tried to pay Mr. Andrews, but
he would not accept anything.

On our side of the street, a
short ways away from the
church and school toward
open country, lived Mr.. and
Mrs. Maies. I don’t think Mr.
Maies had any special occupa-
tion, but was most likely a
retired farmer. They kept a
cow and we got milk from
them. It was my job to go for
the milk for which we paid. I
think it was four cents a quart.
They had a daughter, Minnie,
who was also my first school
teacher. She later married a
man by the name of Frank
Root, who was also a school
teacher. I had an autograph
album, which was much in
vogue at that time and in itis a
kindly message written by

lA
| an FI) Dect heat-Sr_-C r=

Minnie Maies. I remember
that father was very fond of
buttermilk and Mrs. Maies
told my mother to send for
buttermilk anytime she wanted
some. No one ever charged for
buttermilk at the time, but I
remember how I hated to go
and ask for it.

Across the road and still far-
ther out was Mr. Utes (Uthes)
undertaking, (We called it
Oats) establishment. It was a
frame building which also
housed the house. To me, this
place had no charm and was a
good place to steer clear of.

My memory of the stores on
main street, which was at right
angles with ours, is somewhat
vague. I remember several old
frame stores, which were all
general stores. The largest was
owned by Ham. Adams, who
was also prominent in the
affairs of the village and
schools. The railroad formed
the eastern boundary of the
village and was graced with a
waiting room and freight shed.
The railroad was then known
as the Flint and the Pere
Marquette, later the Pere
Marquette and now as the
Chesapeake and Ohio.

The station master was Mr.
Maywood and the Maywoods
lived in a brick house close to
the railroad. There was a large
yard with white picket fence.
The Maywoods were promi-
nent in the church. They had
two children; Sam, about my
brother’s age, and Vi, a girl my
age. I went to play with Vi real
often and she often came to
our house to play with me. I
have a pleasant memory of Vi
coming to seem me when I
had Chicken Pox and bringing
me a little pink cup and saucer.
I kept and prized it for many
years, when I believe it was
smashed by a girl who helped
my wife in the kitchen. J still
have Vi’s picture and memo-
ries of a time when I was six
and seven.

This month, in the spirit of
Lilith Fair we’ll be focusing
on a few of our own female
artists. Hope you enjoy. As
always contact me _ at
jmpclark@globalbiz.net.

Chris Kerwin and Alicia
Gibur make up the Royal Oak
band, Sister Seed. They have

Sister Seed

released their second CD “If
You Were Me” on Instant

Bliss Records. The Detroit
Free Press says “Sister Seed
crafts brisk and buoyant elec-
tro-folk-pop that would fit
right in at Lilith Fair.” Their
“Sunny melodies, savvy
popcraft and engaging vocal
harmonies” have earned them
three Detroit Music Awards
for best acoustic group and
one for best record. They
have been chosen to perform
in the Falcon Ridge Folk
Festival in upstate New York
and have been a featured
showcase at the prestigious
Kerrville Folk Festival in
Kerrville, Texas.

Bob Talbert recently men-
tioned in his column that “If
You Were Me” was one of the
top discs on his play list. ’d
have to agree and my favorite
cuts are “Unchanging Hand,”
“Humble Me” and “Hey My
Friend” featuring some tasty
harmonica by James Wailin.

Ann Arbor acoustic folk-
rock singer Lisa Hunter has
- been called one of the “Metro
area’s pre-eminent trouba-
dours.” Formerly in the folk
rock trio Jane Doe, Hunter is
a self described “Funky,
melodic folk chick.” Her lat-
est CD “Flying” released on a
Chicago record label is a

charismatic blend of acc-
oustic instruments with elec-
tric guitars and a tight rhythm
section. Agenda magazine

describes her sound as “A
subtle seduction,” while the
Detroit Free Press says that
she “Paints her folk with

splotches of funk” and that

her new CD has “An infec-
tious groove that doesn’t
quit.” My favorite cuts from

“Upside Down.” Track num-
ber two “Trashy” is a fan
favorite and could be consid-
ered as their theme song ...
“You never believed in me, a
loser is what you conceived in
me, you tried to make me into
something I’m not, but I’m
trashy in case you forgot. I’m
not Barbie nor a _ beauty
queen, I’m not Supergirl, I’m
just me. Take it or leave it, it’s
up to you. Never mind cuz
we’re through. I’m trashy,
I’m flashy, I’m dirty, I’m flir-
ty...” StunGun, they’re cur-
rently my favorite guilty plea-
sure.

Native Detroiter Michelle
Penn delivers hook-laden gui-
tar rock with attitude and
style. Michelle was a semi-
finalist in Musician Magazine
for the 1998 best-unsigned
band competition, and last
year appeared on the main
stage at the Lilith Fair
Festival.

Often compared _ to
Chrissie Hynde, critics have
described her as “A rugged,

honeyed voice that writes

tough roots rocking songs that
are custom made for tearing
up smokey clubs” and as a
“Golden-throated electric gui-

CLASSIFIEDS

tar sorceress.”

Her latest CD “How Do
You Live” is “Full on, full-
lunged rock for grownups” as
stated by Hobey Echlin of the
Metro Times. My favorite

cuts are “House Of Blues”
and the title cut “How Do
You Live.” This one is a must
have for your collection. For
